The next time I am in the UK (which will hopefully be sometime later this year) I will register an @googlemail.com email address.

 

The @googlemail.com email addresses were provided after Google was informed that they had no right to the GMail name in the UK - another company was already using it and had rights to it. They tried to negotiate and failed, so introduced a different domain for UK users as of mid-October 2005. The domain was only available to people in the UK who registered for GMail after 19/10/2005. However, it is just a redirect to the @gmail.com addresses. Both will work and get delivered fine - Google just aren't allowed to use the GMail name in the UK.

 

If you want a @googlemail.com address then you'll need to move to the UK However, try it with a @gmail.com address. As they redirect to one another, it might be possible to use it anyway. Give it a go and find out.

 

Are you sure it would be @googlemail.com not @googlemail.co.uk?

I find my laptop, an ASUS K61LC, to be extremely quiet - it hardly makes any noise at all.

I don't know why someone would ruin their life by taking dangerous drugs like marijuana, crystal methamphetamine etc. I don't have a problem with tobacco smokers, though.

My phone is a Samsung Preston Icon which has a 3.2 megapixel camera which is certainly not a bad camera but when I am out and I know that I want to take some decent photos then I will bring my digital camera with me. My camera is a Canon IXUS 80 IS - which has 8.0 megapixels but can easily fit into my pocket (it is not much larger than a camera phone) which is why I have no problem bringing it in addition to my phone.

I really enjoyed "The Saga of Darren Shan" series so I was really looking forward to watching the movie. It was released on the 23rd October 2009 in the USA and it arrived in Australia on the 11th March 2010 (just under 5 months later) and by then I had totally forgotten about when the movie was to arrive in Australia and unfortunately I missed it (it was only in cinemas for 2 weeks which I found odd). Also, I saw numerous advertisements about the movie but as it got closer to the release date the advertisements seemed to stop which also took away from the awareness of the movie.

I'm sorry but I personally prefered it when it was 'Xisto'.

 

Is there a new theme? I see the same theme that Xisto always had....

Yes there is. While I feel that this theme is an improvement from the last one, I still find the original theme to be better (see picture).

 

My dream car that I would like to own is the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake. What a magnificent looking car and the performance is brilliant. It does 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, has 605 hp, a 5.4L Eaton TVS supercharged engine and has 20" Alcoa wheels. The Super Snake conversion costs $27,995 and makes the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 a fair bit better in both performance and style.

I've read all twelve books in the "Saga of Darren Shan" series but I haven't ready any other of Darren Shan's books. I bought the series in the form of four trilogies (Vampire Blood trilogy, Vampire Rites trilogy, Vampire War trilogy and the Vampire Destiny trilogy). The "Saga of Darren Shan" is acually one of my favorite book series.

How well do you think Obama's done since he's been elected?

 

Very badly. He has let the country down. He continuously rambles on and on about crap but never actually does anything productive. He is wasting money trying to reform a healthcare system that doesn't need reform and doesn't seem to realize that the country is in major debt. And he is also trying to shut down Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp which is only encouraging terrorists and terrorism.

 

What is your satisfactory rating for him?

 

0/10.

 

Did you think he's done as well as you thought he'd do?

 

He's done just as badly as I apprehended so i'm not really disappointed.

 

Did you vote for Obama?

 

I don't live in the United States so I didn't vote.

 

And I believe that the death penalty should be kept.

Congratulations Alex! Good luck being a moderator, I think you'll do a great job.

Football is my favorite sport (NY Giants fan) and baseball (NY Yankees fan) is my second favorite. I am not really into many other sports. Though, I do sometimes follow Formula 1 (Red Bull fan).

At the moment if you do something wrong they increase your warn level.but that doesn't really do anything and doesn't affect the member that has done something wrong. My idea would be to increase post quotas (mainly to discipline spam posts) so they can't post as often.Just an idea though.

yeah, i love the new main page of trap 17! i just saw it today (since i haven't been on in quite a while) - when did it change?

its about the quality not the quantaty of the post. if the person can get a decent message accross in a one or two liner then that is fine (i think - its been a little while since i've read the rules).

welcome to Xisto abhigyan!

 

it's good to see you are already very active on the forums. i hope you have a great and happy stay here.

the election is over now anyway. obama won so we can all go and kill ourselfs

thanks for that advice. i will change the theme when i can. can you tell me what kind of theme would suit this site? and please sign up everyone!

i've gotten emails like that saying i will get money but i don't listen to them. here is one

its not as if anyone is going to believe this crap. i really don't understand how anyone could be so stupid to buy into this stuff. i searched this guy on the net and i came up with a website that showed the exact same email anouncing that it was a scam. if he really works at the international commercial bank then why doesn't he put his work email there? it is a hotmail email address so its obvious its a scam. but even aside from that is already screaming out to you "THIS IS A SCAM". but those scammists who scam people must be thinking "how could anyone be so stupid?" i'm thinking the same thing.

i don't feel sorry for the woman either. i just think that it is truely sad that people can be that stupid.

well i think it is a little bit fun having these superstitions. 666 and that stuff. but i don't actually believe in it. but still i wouldn't live in a house 666 Whatever street. most people don't belive in ghosts but they are still scared by horror movies. we don't believe it but in the back of our brain we say: i still don't want to take that "risk" of living in 666 whatever street or having anything to do with 666. i have watched a lot of horror movies and i love them. and without superstitions things would be boring wouldn't they?

what is the point watching a debate. debates should not change your opinion at all. you should base your vote on the policies the candidate has already pointed out and you should base it on the person. debates can be very anoying and besides politicians NEVER answer a question directly so what is the point listening them talk about crap?

I still can't get over it, Mccain lost!I was starting to get over it, until i saw the news yesterday, two weeks after the election, they had finally counted all the votes, two weeks!
Also my friends parents went to register to vote and apparently their street didn't exist. Well heres the deal they are republicans! Also I found out that they don't count the militaries vote. Aren't they citizens too?
We had the wise old guy and the female terminator versus the two most libraral snakes in washington! Obama's a jerk and our countries done for!

I mean look at the primaries, Hil had it cinched, and then Barack Hussein Obama (Yeah thats right the middle name!) comes out of nowhere and takes all here electoral votes. And if that weren't enough they made her announce that he was the nominey at the convention!

I think Obama has ties with the Chicago Mafia and he got his way paid in, along with the votes from the A.C.O.R.N registered characters Mickey Mouse and his unofficial official Wife/Girlfriend Minney! And all the other cartton caracters!

i totally agree with you especially with the chicago mafia bit! barack the clown should not have won at all. barack hussein osama is really bad. mccain should have won. mccain had more experience and isn't muslim. america might as well have voted for osama bin ladin! i would have voted for stalin over this joker. the good thing is that i don't live in america. i love america and it is the best country but i mean i would want to live in america with some mafia terrorist as president! i never heard that they didn't count military votes though. are you sure that is right?

but america and the world are going to have a hard 4 and hopefully america will choose smarter next time.

wait i don't really understand. so what is making you so upset? is it the fact that you need a new engine? and if you are feeling really upset what you should do is just talk to some friends and get drunk as you said you were going to do so well done .everyone gets upset sometimes but you'll get over it very soon. I'm never upset for more than a day because there is always fun things to do and there are always friends and there is always food!can you explain to me in more detail what is making you so upset.

The way I like to look at dimensions as an infinite number of spaces in the previous dimension. In other words, if you look at the second dimension, it has two directions: width and height. If we have infinite two dimensional planes stacked on top of each other we get a new dimension, the third dimension which adds depth. Now if we take an infinite number of third dimensional spaces and "stack them" on top of each other they would extend off into the fourth dimension. Now you can't exactly picture it because we are used to only having 3 dimensions, but imagine an infinite number of third dimensions "stacked" on top of each other in some dimensional direction that we have never been presented with before. Now that all of these are different third dimensional spaces we can use these to represent time. (Think of a flip book for a second, you have a series of two dimensional drawings stacked on top of each other each representing a different moment in time)

kinda confusing but i think i get it. i don't know why they have to be "stacked". i thought dimensions were just the number of "sides" (height, width and length) so what would be the next "side"?

i don't really understand how time could fit in with height, width and length.

so if we were discribing a box: It is 5cm high, 6cm wide, 20 cm long and 4:00am.

i think google's acquisition is good. it means when i log on with my goole account i have access to a lot of the things i use regularly like blogger and youtube. i hate having like 100 accounts for everything i have on the internet. if its mainly owned by google then its way easier. and that ie7 download thing is really strange. i visited it now and the yahoo one is the same but google has changed theirs. i still can't see why they would be almost identical to each other. but google has changed theres now anyway. they probably realised just how weird it looked!

i don't know what you mean by - the next microsoft.do you mean like it will have the same influence on computer users that microsoft has or do you think that they are going to go into making operating systems?i think you mean the first one so i say yes. google already had a huge influence on computer users and that is increasing with every new product they come up with. google earth, google chrome, google maps, gmail. google has so much influence on our lives not just in the search field but all round. microsoft is kind of fading. yes you use windows and microsoft office but once you buy that the real time you spend on the computer is on the internet which = google.
